Abstract

The present study embarks on the exploration of cryptography based on chaotic attractors,we develop a web application intended for the encryption and decryption of text strings using the synchronization of these attractors. The first step of this study involved a detailed review of four chaotic systems to fully understand the formulas of each attractor. Through a combination of mathematical analysis and programming, the synchronization of each attractor was implemented in the web application, using the SCRUMBAN methodology, a combination of the agile frameworks Scrum and Kanban. Kruskal-Wallis tests, a nonparametric statistical test was used to compare three or more independent sets of data, revealed significant differences in synchronization, encryption, and decryption times between the four attractors. In concrete terms, these results suggest that the Lorenz attractor is the fastest to perform synchronization, encryption and decryption of text strings.
